In the solar ‘boom’ between 2009 and 2012, the rush to get solar PV installed resulted in a shortage of qualified and experienced labour. As a result, solar panels were installed by inexperienced tradesmen who failed to follow best practice, installing solar panels on roofs which were either defective or already in need of re-roofing, leaving a multitude of hidden and costly problems for the future.

It’s clear that the majority of roofs in the UK that had solar panels fitted during this period will soon be in need of basic routine maintenance, major repairs or even re-roofs within the next few years.
